DDI beyondthe box
Why smart DDI thrives in software, not within an appliance
Scale confidently and efficiently. Deploy DNS, DHCP, and IPAM anywhere your compute runs.
Legacy DDI is holding you back
Appliance-based DDI was built for a different era. Today's demands expose four critical weaknesses.
Your DNS and DHCP are invisible to your SOC
Appliance-based DDI operates as a closed system. You cannot install endpoint security agents like CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Defender, or any EDR/Anti Virus agents inside it.
"You can't secure what you can't instrument."
This creates a permanent visibility gap in your security operations.
- No endpoint detection on DNS/DHCP infrastructure
- Cannot deploy EDR agents (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Defender, etc.)
- No process-level or behavioral telemetry
- Lateral movement can go undetected
- Compliance gaps increase with every audit
Closed System. No Agent Access
EDR agents blocked. Cannot penetrate appliance
Software-defined DDI
DDI Central replaces rigid appliances with intelligent, software-defined infrastructure that adapts to your world.
Full EDR compatibility
Because DDI Central runs as software on standard OS, your EDR agents have full visibility. No more blind spots.
Deploy anywhere
Your compute runs everywhere. Your DDI should too.
5-Year cost comparison
When you remove the hardware, the math changes dramatically.
